Alex Rockefeller laughed dryly, “Of course, you are… Way more beautiful,” virtual-novel.net said.
Daya Stoermer sat down elegantly. “This time, I caused you and me to have a scandal. I’m truly sorry. Did your wife misunderstand anything after that?”
Alex sighed a little. “We got divorced today.”
Upon saying that, Alex wanted to slap himself again.
‘What the heck? This foul mouth of mine! Why did I say that?’ Alex thought.
Daya’s eyes immediately lit up, and virtual-novel.net heart raced. It was as though virtual-novel.net saw a glimmer of hope… She didn’t want to miss this fated opportunity. They were destined to be together!
How could virtual-novel.net miss this chance?
“Was it because of me?” She leaned over and asked softly.
“Not entirely,” replied Alex.
“I’ve heard a little bit about you guys. The Assex family doesn’t seem to treat you well. I heard that Lady Dorothy’s mother makes things difficult for you, and virtual-novel.net thinks of you as a thorn in the flesh. In the past, virtual-novel.net treated you like a nanny…” Daya said.
Alex waved his hand. “Forget it Why bring this up? Let’s talk about you instead. Your father came looking for me yesterday. I didn’t expect the Stoermer family to come from a royal bloodline.”
Daya shook virtual-novel.net head. “It’s more like fallen royalty. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone around trying to marry off the family’s daughters to affluent families out there! Alex, there’s something I want to tell you.”
She finally decided to stop beating around the bush.
Suddenly, Daya took Alex by his hand.
Alex was startled. “What… What did you want to tell me?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“I like you! ” Daya exclaimed.
“Uhh…”
“Aren’t you divorced now? In that case, would you like to be with me? Why don’t we elope somewhere? We can go abroad to a place where nobody else is. We’ll buy an island on the Pacific Ocean, live a reclusive life, and I’ll bear your children…” Daya went on.
Alex was stunned. This was way too direct.
The problem was that, in the face of such an offer from Daya, virtual-novel.net was tempted to say yes.
Truthfully, if it were any other man, 99% of them would have agreed.
But Alex finally shook his head gently. “No, I… I can’t say yes.”
“Why?” Daya asked in bewilderment.
“It… It’s very complicated. I still have many things to do. For example, I must exact revenge. Hence, I’m sorry…” Alex explained.
Daya looked at virtual-novel.net and chuckled bitterly. “It’s simply my lack of fortune! After returning to my family this time, it might perhaps be a permanent farewell… Before I go, can you buy me a drink? Think of it as sending me off,” virtual-novel.net said.
Alex nodded. “Of course, that won’t be a problem.”
Daya inhaled sharply and pointed at Willow Lake. “Let’s go there. I know about a cruise ship we could charter.”
Soon, the two walked down to the lake. Indeed, docked by the shore was a two story cruise ship.
“Boss, I want to charter your boat for tonight. Make me an offer!” Alex said directly.
The middle-aged man glanced at Daya. Although virtual-novel.net had put on a mask and a hat, virtual-novel.net still seemed very eye-catching. The man then looked at Alex with a funny expression. “Not a problem. A single night will cost you 50,000 dollars. You can do anything you want! There’s even a room upstairs, complete with everything you need. It’s no different from a hotel. Also, just so you know, one of its rooms even has a special, romantic ambiance. Hehe…”
Alex felt slightly awkward. “Is there food?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“Yes, yes. We have cuisines including Chinese, Western, Japanese, Korean kimchi rice, and even Indian curry rice. We have everything you want!”
“I’ll pay by card!”
Beep.
Alex finished paying with his card and had just gotten on board when a group of people unexpectedly rushed onto the cruise ship.
The leader looked like a young man with wealthy parents. “Boss, I want this boat. Get rid of everyone else,” virtual-novel.net exclaimed.
Alex and Daya were just about to enter when they heard this. They turned around with stunned looks on their faces.
Among the group of people was an old nemesis.
She was none other than Alex’s ex-girlfriend, Chloe Marionette.
After counting the days down, it seemed like they hadn’t met for quite some time. Alex didn’t expect to meet virtual-novel.net here. Moreover, by the looks of it, virtual-novel.net had changed boyfriends yet again. Wearing a pair of sexy, revealing shorts, Chloe had virtual-novel.net arms around a young man’s arm while virtual-novel.net flirted with him.
When their eyes met, Chloe immediately started shouting. “Hey, Alex Rockefeller, it’s you, you loser! Shouldn’t you be on your knees, washing your wife’s feet? I can’t believe you’re actually out here on a date with another woman. Do you not want to be looked after by your wife anymore?”
